It looks so far away, when you start the walk and soon you can find yourself in the back streets and alleys of true Barcelona. Recognizable as tourists everyone seems to understand your plight as you join the thousands that have scaled that wall to the fortress above. As all fortresses that overlook the land, and in this case, the ocean port, below, it was built to give the impression that no one could go against it. In the time I am writing the Catalunyan were swept to France and by the time Ferdinand II of Aragon came along, it was taken back again from the French.
